You gazed up at the bright night sky through the wall length window. One hand was subconsciously placed on your stomach, rubbing it soothingly. You sighed softly as you took in the view of the lit up city, oh how you wished for it to never end, the night, and the peacefulness.

You knew your husband was out there, most likely fighting the Separatists or encountering a Sith Lord. You always worried about him when he went away on long missions, that one day he wouldn't come back to you or get injured badly.

You knew he could take care of himself, he was strong and well capable, but with the recent news involving the war that your husband just so happened to be in the centre of it, your nerves have skyrocketed into oblivion.

You distracted yourself daily with work that needed to be done in regards to the senate and your other priorities, see, you had a home in Coruscant with your husband, but you also had your home in Alderaan, you were in fact the Princess. You are well respected and look after your people's needs and your planet alone. You always heard everyone's voice and tried as much as you possibly could to help. The war had gave you much more work and worry with your work life, so if you weren't worried for your husband, you were for your work as well your people.

Anakin has been gone for five months now, you weren't able to go back to Alderaan since you were late into your pregnancy, you felt the life inside of you kick at you, like it knew you were thinking about it. The baby bump was very noticeable, you didn't announce that you were with child, but you've noticed people's eyes lingered on your stomach as you walked passed whenever you knew it or not. It didn't bother you, but it did make you become more paranoid, did they know? You shook the thought away as soon as it came. How would they know, if they knew you sure as hell would be in a lot of trouble and so would Anakin.

A humming sound came from behind you, the droid that you were so fond with now. Anakin had left R2 here with you because he felt guilty he had to depart with his troop for another mission. You had only told him you were going to have a baby, you remembered the smile that graced his lips, he didn't even think of the consequences at first and instantly picked you up and spun you, kissing you while he slowly let you down, it reminded you of a fairly tale were one of the maids would tell you before it pulled you into a deep slumber.

The droid beeped moving beside you in order to provide any help. You shook your head giving the droid a nod, you were alright, the droid moved out when you gave it the reassurance it needed and you were back to focusing on the nights sky.

Your mind wandered once more about the gender of the baby, you didn't mind a boy or a girl, if it was a boy, you could imagine a younger version of Anakin running around the place, or a girl, who has the spirt of her father. You can visualise Anakin as a father so clearly, he already works so well with Ahsoka, you didn't see him struggling as a father. Your mind shifted further, with the baby is cradled in Anakin's arms, the look of adoration while he holds the child like it was a fragile piece of art that was being persevered. Whether or not you knew that this baby will change things forever in your life.

You almost misheard a familiar voice that spoke out by the doorway, you drifted away from your thoughts and twisted your feet around.

There stood the man that plagued your mind, his hair had grown since you last saw him and he looked a little taller as well. You didn't hesitate to run up to him, he seemed to expect this as he scooped you up immediately, your feet lifted from the ground as he pressed his lips up to yours. The kiss was sweet, you both didn't hide the smiles on your faces as he let you down gently.

"When did you return?" He trailed his eyes down to your stomach that has grown into a little bump. Anakin lips curled up as he brought his hands down to your waist and gently pressed his palm to your stomach.
